Greetings,
I was just looking up something for the Starlord and I ran into a word I
don't recall having seen before. " Halation" I made an educated guess from
the context, but then I thought I'd better check the glossary on Mike's HIPS
page, where the word was not found, so then I tried the dictionary.
Now here is the check list description, color-wise, of TRAILS WEST
(Schreiner's 1986) "Auburn brown blend----note correction from previous post
where I said autumn---with metallic halation, old gold to brown beard."
Okay, so I hit the dictionary and what do I find in the Random House College?
"Halation---a blurred effect at the edges of a light area on a photograph
caused by reflection of light through the emulsion from the surface of the
film or plate."
Is this word being used consistently for a specific color effect in irises
and I've simply not run into it enough to notice it before? Can someone tell
me what may be meant here?
Thank you.
